- Garnet color with medium forming legs and aromas of cherry, tea, tobacco and cedar. It's balanced and has flavours of cherry with a medium/full body. Smooth texture with a long finish - Decanted four hours.

Last of 9 bottles. Decanted (for sediment) and drank 30 minutes later. Dark red color. On nose, orange rind, floral, red currants and tart strawberry. On palate, tart cherry, strawberry, earth/ mushrooms and touch of tobacco/savory elements. Medium body, medium tannins (more integrated but still there) and medium acidity with a long finish. I thought this would have turned to prunes/leather with no fruit but I was wrong. Not a re-buy but this was an enjoyable bottle of wine at it's peak but good for another few years - at least. 92+/-

Decanted half the bottle for 1 hour. Very pretty wine. Fully integrated tannins but just entering its drinking window. Very refined with bright fruit and the typical “tar and roses” thing going on. Day 2 the fruit slightly faded but still very enjoyable

Really tannic…plenty of fruit. Think the drinking window on this is much longer
